Pagan Beliefs in Ancient Russia. by Luceta Di Cosimo, Barony Marche of the Debatable Lands, Aethelmearc
1 Pagan Beliefs in Ancient Russia. By Luceta di Cosimo, Barony Marche of the Debatable Lands, Aethelmearc. [email protected] ©2006-2017 Slavic mythology is a difficult subject. The historical evidence is fragmented, with many conflicting sources and multiple later literary inventions. This is a brief reconstruction of ancient Russian mythology. The first archaeological findings that can be attributed to Slavs date to approximately 6th c. AD. The origins of Slavs are still debated. The pagan Slavic society was an oral society. Christianity, which introduced writing, was more concerned with eradication rather than preservation of pagan beliefs. No one really tried to preserve and record whatever remained, until late period. Then, there is some evidence recorded from the Germans who visited Russia in 18th c., but a lot of it is based on the written 15thc. sources, rather than eyewitness accounts. The 19th c. Europe saw renewed interest in folklore, and combined with rise of nationalism and need for developed mythos, a lot of what was left was recorded, but a lot was altered to make it more palatable, and questionable things (especially with fertility rituals) were edited out as not to besmirch the emerging national character. During the Soviet time, the study of any religion was problematic, due to mandatory atheism. Eventually, the study of the early Slavic traditions was permitted, and even encouraged, but, everything had to pass stringent censorship rules, and could not contradict Marxist-Leninist philosophy. So, people who had the material (in the USSR) could not publish, and people who actually could publish (in the West) did not have access to the materials.

Series “Philology” (Linguistics). № 11, 2019 UDC 811.111’37 DOI https://doi.org/10.24919/2663-6042.11.2019.175466 MYTHOLOGICAL CONCEPT SUNGOD IN ENGLISH, SWEDISH AND SLAVONIC SONG DISCOURSES Gusar A. V. Institute of Philology of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv Modern linguistics pays particular attention to the analysis of the relationship between language and knowledge struc- tures, processes of thinking and consciousness. According to such a tendency, the particular interest is found in the integrative study of speech and language as a linguo-creative phenomenon and in the study of semiotic and cognitive features of basic mythological concepts. Special interest of present-day linguistics lies in decoding such concepts and in finding out how these concepts could be rediscovered in modern discourses, especially in modern songs. Considering all said above we can name the purpose of this article which was devoted to the analysis of basic mythological concept SUNGOD and to studying its possible incarnations in different modern song discourses, namely, in English, Swedish and Slavonic (Russian and Ukrainian) and to the construction of their associative fields, which is significant for understanding the mental processes that occurred when an individual was perceiving, comprehending and, consequently, cognizing the reality a long time ago and how it works nowadays. These common features of the inherited fund of Indo-European mythology explains the considerable similarity of separate Indo-European mythologies, despite the diversity of late contacts with non-European nations, which also had a significant impact on their development.

In the interaction of carriers of culture not only a certain shift of cultural paradigms take place, but also ethnic groups enter into complex relationships, while in the process of acculturation of each of them finds its identity and specificity, are mutually adapted by borrowing some of the cultural traits of each other.

WHEN the present volume was originally planned it was intended to contain- an account of Russian folk-, . lore in general-of the stories, legends. riddles. pro- verbs, and epic as well as lyric poems, which oral tradition has preserved among the Russian peasantry. But I soon found that the subject was one which, if treated at all in detail, would require more time and space than I had expected. So I thought it best to restrict myself for the present to a part of it only. leaving the rest to be described afterwards. In this first instalment of the work, therefore, I have dealt chiefly, though not exclusively, with the lyric poetry of the peasantry; the next will be mainly devoted to their Popular Tales and their Metrical Romances. In order to render intelligible the songs I have quoted, it has been necessary to give some slight account of the religious ideas attributed to the ancien t vi PREFACE. Slavonians and the superstitions current among their descendants, 8S well as of some of the manners and customs of the Russian peasantry, especially with regard to marriages and fWllwals. But my book can make no pretence to any thing like a satisfactory grappling with the difficult problems-mythological, ethnological, philological, historical-suggested by the study of Slavonic antiquities.
